Product Description
Most parents know omega-3s matter for kids. Fewer know that EPA and DHA from fish oil tell only part of the story — especially for children ages 6 to 12, when the brain, nervous system, and emotional regulation are developing rapidly and simultaneously.
Complete Omega Junior goes further than a standard fish oil by adding GLA from borage seed oil to the mix, creating a more complete fatty acid profile calibrated specifically for this stage of development.
EPA and DHA – These omega-3s from fish oil build and support the brain. EPA (135 mg per serving) supports healthy mood, normal inflammatory response, and nervous system function. DHA (90 mg per serving) is the primary structural fat of brain and eye tissue — it's what the developing brain is literally built from during the critical 6–12 age window. Together they form the foundation of cognitive development, focus, and learning capacity.
GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) – GLA is an anti-inflammatory omega-6 that supports healthy mood, behavioral regulation, and nervous system development. It works alongside the omega-3s rather than competing with them — helping the brain's messaging systems communicate more effectively and supporting the social-emotional development that defines this age range.
Oleic acid – Oleic acid keeps cell membranes fluid and functional, which matters for how efficiently brain cells fire and communicate with each other. It's the same fatty acid that makes olive oil a staple of heart-healthy diets, and it rounds out the 3-6-9 fatty acid profile in this formula.
Easy, No Fishy Aftertaste – Like all Nordic Naturals fish oils, Complete Omega Junior uses the triglyceride molecular form, which absorbs significantly better than the ethyl ester form used in cheaper alternatives. The mini soft gels are sized for kids ages 6 and up to swallow easily, and the natural lemon flavor is clean and pleasant — no fishy burps, no resistance at the breakfast table.
Every batch is wild-caught, Friend of the Sea certified, third-party tested for heavy metals and environmental toxins, and non-GMO verified. Certificates of Analysis are publicly available for every lot.
How to Use Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Junior
Ages 6–12: Two soft gels daily with food. The fat in the meal supports absorption of all the fatty acids in the formula.
Morning with breakfast is ideal — the combined brain and mood support pairs naturally with the cognitive demands of a school day.

Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Junior FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Most kids' fish oils deliver only omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Complete Omega Junior adds GLA — an omega-6 from borage seed oil — and oleic acid, an omega-9. This broader fatty acid profile more fully supports the brain, nervous system, mood regulation, and social-emotional development that define the 6–12 age window.
GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in borage seed oil. It supports healthy inflammatory response, mood stability, and nervous system function — and it works cooperatively alongside omega-3s rather than competing with them. Research links GLA to healthy behavioral regulation and emotional development in children, which is why Nordic Naturals includes it here specifically for the 6–12 age group.
With breakfast is ideal. The fat in the meal supports absorption of all the omega fatty acids in the formula, and morning dosing pairs the brain and mood benefits with the hours of peak cognitive demand — school, learning, and social interaction.
These two formulas target different age ranges and different needs. Complete Omega Junior (ages 6–12) uses a lower omega-3 dose appropriate for younger children and adds GLA for broader developmental support — particularly around mood and behavioral regulation. Ultimate Omega Teen (ages 12–18) is a higher-dose, omega-3-only concentrate focused on brain performance, cognitive function, and academic and athletic demands in older teens.
